Agni, Prithvi, Akash: India Readies For Strike Before Enemies Blink, Flexes Deterrent Muscle In Larger Doctrine Shift | India News
India recently sent a strong message to its competitors. Within only 24 hours, the country tested three major missile systems between rival countries such as Pakistan and China, especially after witnessing India’s power, especially during the Sindoor operation. The tests were not just routine exercises – strategic, timed and attributed the purpose. So, why does India suddenly conduct these high -profile missile trials? What message is behind this missile blitzin? And why could even global powers like the US and Russia be a reason to draw attention? In today’s DNA, DNA, Zee News’s executive editor Rahul Sinha analyzed how India stretch the deterrent muscle on the regional chess board.
Three missiles, one message: India is ready
The names themselves – Agni (Fire), Prithvi (Earth), Akash (Sky) – The use of the basic power in the war reflects the old Indian philosophy. These missiles are not only the backbone of India’s defense, but also ready for war than ever.
Only yesterday, India tested the Akash air defense system.
Shortly thereafter, under the Strategic Forces Command, both launched the AGNI-1 and PrithVi-2 missiles, which were both able to provide nuclear war heads.
This was not just a technical control. These were the preparations for war that simulates real war -time missiles, including the secure transmission of nuclear strike orders.

Missile details: tested and why important
PrithVi-2 Tactical Nuclear Missile
* Range: 350 km
* Load: 500-1000 kg (traditional or 15 kiloton nuclear war title)
* Tactical Use: Lahore, Bahawalpur or Tibetan Air Starts, such as the borders can hit the bases of enemy army near the borders
* Flight path: low orbit – avoids enemy radar
AGNI-1 intermediate range strategic missile
* December: 700-900 km
* Load: Traditional or 100 kiloton nuclear war title up to 1000 kg
* Speed: Re -enter the world atmosphere at MACH 7 (7x sound speed) makes the intervention almost impossible
* Targets: Deep Enemy Zone – Islamabad (350 km) or Karachi (800 km)
* Mobility: Road-Mobil Starters-Too moving, difficult to detect, quickly deploying
These consecutive launch emphasizes India’s second strike ability-even if the first attacked, India can retaliate without delay.
Secret message behind the tests
* India’s nuclear deterrence is completely operational and is tested for real world conditions.
* Missiles are double talented: traditional and nuclear loads
* Rapid consecutive launch shows India’s capacity to respond to the enemy before the opposing measures.
India’s final weapon: Hypersonic missile that even the US and Russia cannot stop
While Agni and Prithvi are in headlines, there is a missile that changes another game when developed.
Extended Traumor Long -Term Hypersonic Cruise missile
* Speed: Mach 8-10 (11,000-12,000 km/h)
* Range: 1500-2000 km
* Load: up to 2000 kg (including nuclear war titles)
* Motor: scramjet – pulls the oxygen from the air, keeps missile light and fast
* Land, air or sea can be started
* Privacy: Flying low, changing direction in the middle of the flight, impossible to cut
* Successed tested: DRDO completed a 1000 seconds attempt
* Predictable: Neither the US Thaad nor Russia’s S-500 can stop?
* This potentially makes it more advanced and three times faster than Brahmos. Once on the market, enemy air bases, sea fleets or command centers would not escape.
Why is the world watching
India’s message is open: Nuclear arsenal is safe, tested and mobile. Pakistan and China’s striking distance-and even take global powers-is more than a 24-hour missile craze. This is a demonstration of deterrence, dominance and preparation. And with hypersonic technology on the pipeline, India not only continues, but also competes.
